bers except one, which contains parity data for the stripe set computed
internally by the Port Multiplier. In the event of failure, the missing
information can be calculated using the parity information.
RAID 5 (Stripe set with striped parity)
Number of drives: at least 3
Unit capacity: size of one member times number of members minus one.
Spares: yes
Fault tolerance: can withstand the loss of one drive without losing data.
RAID 5 works by striping entire I/O blocks across all members of the set,
with each member taking turns carrying parity data computed by the Port
Multiplier. In the event of failure, the missing information can be calcu-
lated using the parity information.
CLONE (Mirror set)
Number of drives: at least 2
Unit capacity: size of one member.
Spares: yes
Fault tolerance: can withstand the loss of any number of drives without
losing data as long as at least one complete member remains online.
CLONE mode works the same way as RAID 1, by maintaining a com-
plete copy of the entire set of data on each drive.
LARGE (Spanned set)
Number of drives: at least 2
Unit capacity: 100% of all drives together regardless of differences in
size
Spares: no
Fault tolerance: cannot withstand the loss of any drives without losing
data. However, some data may be recovered as long as the drive(s)
carrying the file system data (boot record, directory, etc.) remain online.
LARGE mode is neither a RAID nor is it a JBOD. It works by declaring
the sum of all available space of the member drives as a single unit,
without striping the data. As each member is filled, new data is stored on
the next.
Notes about Spare Drives
If EZ mode is disabled (SW1:2 ON), all individual drives not configured
as array members will be offered to the host adapter as separate units.
To create an array with one or more spares, set or modify the RAID
mode while the spares are disconnected from the Port Multiplier. When
EZ mode is enabled (SW1:2 OFF), individual drives connected when an
array is present are considered spare. Spare drives must be equal to or
larger in size than the smallest member. When any type of array is
